CSO Online's "12 tips for effectively presenting cybersecurity to the board" suggests a number of sound, actionable steps for CISOs or others charged with reporting/presenting to the board on cybersecurity matters. Although particularly helpful for members of management who may lack experience in board presentations - as is currently frequently the case with CISOs, the relative newness of cybersecurity being regularly addressed in the boardroom and the complex nature of this topic make these tips relevant on a much broader scale than would be the case with other more mature boardroom topics.
Note that 92% of respondent companies to our Deloitte/Society Board Practices Report voluntarily publicly disclose the role of the board/board committee in their cybersecurity oversight, and nearly 40% disclose their board/committee engagement with management on cyber matters.
